  • We are starting with our wonderful ‘Mindfulness Tuesday’ this year, starting Tuesday, September 13th. This is a NO HOMEWORK:-) day in which we encourage you all to engage in relaxing and mindful activities and we’ve enclosed a list of suggestions here. If you have any new ideas we’d love to hear them and we welcome photos, videos and samples of art, baking, writing etc done which we may place on our school blog.

Each child will have a very small exercise to complete which will explain which activity they did for Mindful Tuesday.
